slightly OT about Mac: Show Desktop in OS9?

[curve666]

On a PC there is a button on the taskbar that says Show Desktop. It minimizes all your windows at once so you can work on the Desktop. What is the command for doing this on a Mac in OS9?

MacOS 9 doesn't have exactly that same command, but if you'll go to the upper right corner of the screen and pull down the menu there, you'll see some "hide" options that will do what you want.

I was at someone's computer once and they programed it using Applescript and then assigning the script to a function key. I know next to nothing about applescript but I know it is possible.

or just option-click anywhere on the desktop and it will hide all non-finder applications
